The only problem? Young people aren't interested in buying their
houses, according to the Journal.

"Homes built before 2012 are selling at steep discounts -
sometimes almost 50%, and many owners end up selling for less
than they paid to build their homes," Taylor wrote.

Boomers are looking to downsize, but millennials aren't
interested in their huge houses

"These days, buyers of all ages eschew the large, ornate houses
built in those years in favor of smaller, more modern-looking
alternatives, and prefer walkable areas to living miles from
retail," Taylor wrote.

Younger buyers are also uninterested in outdated interior design.

"Design trends have shifted radically in the past decade," Taylor
wrote. "That means a home with crown moldings, ornate details and
Mediterranean or Tuscan-style architecture can be a hard sell,
while properties with clean lines and open floor plans get
snapped up."
